Hi Marlon,
Yes, I have thought about it and it should be a nice addition.
Wasn't sure about Docker vs alternatives such as LXD or Rocket...
But I don't expect to get to this until 3 or 4th quarter.

Hi Emre, are you looking at containerizing any of your applications?

Thanks, Gourav, this is great. How will the design differ in the two

Since installing the applications is not a simple task and there
aren’t good docker libraries (for example) for many of them, I would
assume that we would have a collection of VMs that have the codes
already installed.
FWIW, that model would work well with GenApp usage also. Although, I
can imagine a scenario where a part of job initialization script
(running under the already "code installed" VM) checks for updates to
the code and installs them, but that can be independent of
Airavata/Aurora/Mesos's knowledge.

Subject: Design of Mesos/Aurora integration with Airavata on Jetstream
Hi Dev's,
I have been working on the integration of Apache Aurora and Mesos with
Airavata and Jetstream. Using Mangirish's latest code, VMs can now be
created using on Jetstream. I want to understand how Airavata is
likely to use the VMs for applications. Will airavata re-use existing
VMs for successive applications for a given community, or will new VMs
be created for each application? This will decide how we design the
automated creation of a Mesos cluster using the new VMs that are
created. I understand that we will have a Mesos master VM that will
run all the time on Jetstream.
Here is the Job submission flow that I am assuming:
Airavata Client--> Airavata
Server-->(Orchestrator-->GFAC)-->My-Apache-Aurora-module-->(A script
will create .aurora configuration file that will be used to launch the
job)-->Aurora/Mesos-->VMs
So, I will design a module that will work with Orchestrator-->GFAC to
generate the appropriate Apache Aurora script to be submitted to the
Aurora master.
Please let me know if there are any comments, suggestions on this plan.
